And why do people use stupid "BMW Dealer Tire Prices" to justify their warranty purchases? You CAN patch a RFT, the tire MFG recommends it, and even if you need to replace it is ~100% more at a dealer.

Well for us "single folk", who don't have multiple cars, it's not as much of burden on the pocket book.

Yes we know the dealer price is crazy--I always went to Discount Tire for replacements on my '01 X5 but still these 20s on the e70 are not cheap--even at DT I think the rears are $500.

PS I was really hoping for more of a Simon Cowell response
